I don't mean to be unsympathetic but what about this girl's life would I want to learn? I can't recall 1 thing I ever saw her in. Sounds like she is trying to make a buck on her dead daughter-I know it says a portion will go to charity-I hope the charity isn't expecting a windfall from sales because I can't see alot of people buying the book.

I don't believe that Brittany's mother is writing thisbook for money, but for the reason she gives. The mediaand the people that believe everything the media says,were cruel and speculating illegal drugs killed her, herhusband killed her and so on before her autopsy report wasmade public. One of my favorite shows that Brittany waspart of was her voice of Luanne in King of The Hill.
